LIONS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Detroit Lions will be without mighty defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for the first time in five seasons. However, wide receiver Golden Tate is not too worried.
While Suh is off in Miami enjoying his massive payday and strengthening the Dolphins’ defense, the Lions are preparing for a season without Suh. When Tate was approached about how the Lions’ offense could be impacted...

Sequim, WA -- Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy strapped himself to the top of a biplane recently. [h/t Dan Carson] Had himself flipped upside down. And because that wasn't enough. He pulled off a wing walk to boot.Whew.Follow us on Twitter for exclusive stories, Subscribe by Email, or Return home for Top sports news.

Part pf me gets it. You are young and in the prime of your life. You are lucky enough to make a great living as a professional football player which gives you a lot more vacation time then the average dude not to mention the means to do absolutely anything you want. Your team just hopes you don't take any unnecessary risk that could limit your availability for next season.Climbing...

Cliff diving was so two days ago.
If you’ll recall, quarterback Tom Brady gave New England Patriots fans a minor heart attack this weekend by taking a rather dangerous plunge off a rock cliff in Costa Rica.
Apparently DeAndre Levy got wind of the QB’s bold exploits, because the Detroit Lions linebacker posted a couple photos to Instagram on Sunday that made...

There are a lot of dominoes left to fall across the NFL this offseason and the Detroit Lions’ offense has yet to come fully into focus, but with Jim Caldwell’s comments at ownership meetings last week its fun to think ahead. When discussing the departure of Reggie Bush after Caldwell’s first season in Detroit, the Lions’ Head Coach noted that things just “didn’t work...

Kelly Hall, Matt Stafford’s fiancée, will do whatever it takes to defend her man. So when a Detroit Sun Times writer called out the Lions quarterback in a recent article, she made sure to respond.
Hall and Stafford flew to Syracuse to watch Michigan State take on Oklahoma in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Stafford attended the University of Georgia, but since they didn’t...

In my opinion, after a franchise quarterback, offensive lineman are the most important roster spots to fill to produce a winning NFL team. An offense can’t operate without a good offensive line. They are the unsung heroes of every great NFL team. The Patriots have had a great offensive line for years, but Tom Brady is the player who receives all the glory. If you can’t protect...

Matt Stafford’s wife, Kelly Hall, is not one to back down from protecting her man and she was back at it again over the weekend. Kelly took to Instagram to address an article (we use that term loosely) in the Detroit Sun Times which was titled: “Once again, Matt Stafford could learn a thing or

The Detroit Lions have six picks to play with when the 2015 NFL Draft begins on April 30th in Chicago.
(Note, per ESPN: Due to the the change in the compensatory picks by the NFL, the Lions now have pick No. 200 instead of pick No. 199.)
Breakdown of Lions' 2015 selection:
First round: 23rd overall selection
Second round: 54th overall selection
Third round: 88th overall...

It seems like an ongoing theme with the Lions are things not working out with are particular player. Ironically, that was the message head coach Jim Caldwell was relaying to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press when talking about Reggie Bush’s time in Detroit and his subsequent release this offseason.
“I think oftentimes you’ll find that there are going to be some adjustments...

While it will save them a boatload of money over the long run, losing Ndamukong Suh in free agency to the Miami Dolphins is definitely going to hurt the Detroit Lions on the field.
In fact, some people think that it’s the biggest free agent loss we’ve seen this offseason so far…

The Detroit Lions developed a reputation for being a passing team the past few seasons, but head coach Jim Caldwell says we should expect to see changes for the upcoming season. Caldwell said at the NFL owners meetings Wednesday that he plans to have more balance on offense. “When I tell you that we’re not...Read More

One of the most underrated moves last offseason came when the Detroit Lions signed wide receiver and irrepressible ladies man Golden Tate to a five-year contract with $16 million guaranteed.
It came as somewhat of a surprise to fans of the Seattle Seahawks, who watched Tate make big contributions during their Super Bowl run the previous season. Tate even said at one point that he...

It looks like Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron may be attempting to start a trend here. Instead of buying Matthew Stafford and his soon-to-be wife some lame wedding present that will collect dust in their kitchen pantry, the young man decided to go all out for his gift to the two.
And by all out, we mean all out.
Yes, those are matching pairs of custom made Air Jordan shoes for...

Fighting the likes of Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate for passes in the Lions' offense, tight end Eric Ebron would be wise to get quarterback Matthew Stafford's attention a little more often.
Good thing for Ebron he's a pretty creative guy. And perhaps a world-class suck-up.
Following a rookie season viewed by most as a disappointment (25 catches, 248 yards, one touchdown), Ebron...

In the final installment of my first 2015 NFL mock draft, I go through the final 12 picks of the first round. The Detroit Lions trade down three times, and two teams trade back into the first round.

With the Lions still on the hook for roughly $9.7M of Suh cap space this upcoming season Martin Mayhew and the rest of the Lions front office continued to pick up the pieces in the wake of their All-Pro defensive tackle getting way and signing in South Beach. Monday’s angle was telling Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that the team would be financially better off without...

Congratulations are in order for Calvin Johnson, who got engaged this week to girlfriend Brittney McNorton. Johnson was in Baltimore to attend the Ed Block Courage Awards and decided to propose to McNorton. McNorton, who is a Detroit Lions employee, told The Baltimore Sun that Calvin proposed to her while they were walking along Baltimore’s...Read More

The Detroit Lions have re-signed veteran Cornerback Rashean Mathis to a 2-year deal worth $3.5 million dollars. This is being reported by Pro Football Talk on Twitter:
35-year-old CB Rashean Mathis returns to Detroit on a 2-year deal; $3.5M total, $2M this year, per source.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is marrying his longtime girlfriend Kelly Hall next month. But before that happens, Ms. Hall is intent on having her way with Sin City. Hall, a former Georgia cheerleader, spent the weekend in Las Vegas with several of her close — and very attractive — friends. It looked like plenty...Read More

As I write this it’s been nearly two full days since The Great Trade Hour of 2015, which is still difficult to fully comprehend. It’s a rare day when the acquisition of Haloti Ngata, a five-time All Pro, can be overshadowed.
Jimmy Graham will have that effect, as will any Jimmy Graham-level player who moves to a team that’s been to the last two Super Bowls. But Ngata somewhat...

Question of the day: When was the last time a truly undisputed top-five defensive player hit the open market? Darrelle Revis doesn’t count; his value wasn’t nearly as high last year as it had been in years past. Mario Williams and Elvis Dumervil were excellent pass-rushers, but both were better placed in the top-five at their position. Nnamdi Asomugha may have been in 2009...

The top free agent hitting the NFL market on March 10 is likely to be defensive end Ndamukong Suh. Suh, after playing five terrific seasons with the Detroit Lions following his second-overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, is ready to cash in.
Throughout his career, Suh has amassed four first-team All Pro designations and four Pro Bowls, along with 36 sacks. The defensive tackle...

By Rachel Wold.
Just a day after the Detroit Lions released running back Reggie Bush, he was spotted out at Madeo in Beverly Hills where TMZ Sports reporters caught up with him and asked him a few questions.
Looking quite sharp and in a fair mood, Bush answered with a resounding “no” when asked if he was retiring from the game.
Bush, who is about to turn the big 30 next...
